    Coherence-incoherence patterns in a ring of non-locally coupled phase oscillators
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2013) Omel'chenko, Oleh
    We consider a paradigmatic spatially extended model of non-locally coupled phase oscillators which are uniformly distributed within a one-dimensional interval and interact depending on the distance between their sites modulo periodic boundary conditions. This model can display peculiar spatio-temporal patterns consisting of alternating patches with synchronized (coherent) or irregular (incoherent) oscillator dynamics, hence the name coherence-incoherence pattern, or chimera state. For such patterns we formulate a general bifurcation analysis scheme based on a hierarchy of continuum limit equations. This gives us possibility to classify known coherence-incoherence patterns and to suggest directions for searching new ones

    The mathematics behind chimera states
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2017) Omelchenko, Oleh E.
    Chimera states are self-organized spatiotemporal patterns of coexisting coherence and incoherence. We give an overview of the main mathematical methods used in studies of chimera states, focusing on chimera states in spatially extended coupled oscillator systems. We discuss the continuum limit approach to these states, Ott-Antonsen manifold reduction, finite size chimera states, control of chimera states and the influence of system design on the type of chimera state that is observed.

    Stability of spiral chimera states on a torus
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2017) Omelchenko, Oleh E.; Wolfrum, Matthias; Knobloch, Edgar
    We study destabilization mechanisms of spiral coherence-incoherence patterns known as spiral chimera states that form on a two-dimensional lattice of nonlocally coupled phase oscillators. For this purpose we employ the linearization of the OttAntonsen equation that is valid in the continuum limit and perform a detailed two-parameter stability analysis of a D4-symmetric chimera state, i.e., a four-core spiral state. We identify fold, Hopf and parity-breaking bifurcations as the main mechanisms whereby spiral chimeras can lose stability. Beyond these bifurcations we find new spatio-temporal patterns, in particular, quasiperiodic chimeras, D2-symmetric spiral chimeras as well as drifting states.
